What I want to happen...

Created by: senators55
Team: 2016-17 Ottawa Senators
Initial Creation Date: Jun. 17, 2016
Published: Jun. 17, 2016
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Bolster the defence by bringing in shot blocker and local guy Calvin De Haan.

By taking on the bad contract in Read (who is still a fast skater and needed PK guy) it allows the Flyers to make the trade and bring in Philadelphia native Bobby Ryan.

Signing of Backes creates more depth in top 9.

All moves make the team better defensively and allows for physical players on each line except the 4th forward group. (Backes, Simmonds, Smith, Methot, Phaneuf, Boroweicki)

As a Flyers fan I know this is wishful thinking. Simmonds has probably the best contract in the league and there is no way they are giving him up without getting a significant draft spot or really young high ceiling prospects. He deserves to be making money like the other power forwards in the league (Perry from ANA for example) but is making half of that for at least three more crucial years for us. Maybe if it was Read and Simmonds for Ceci and Zibanejad we could work something out. Maybe the Flyers throw in a defensive prospect like Hagg in that deal too or a 4th rounder. What do you think?

I'm thinking that your right and it is wishful thinking...however I think Ottawa retains $1M from Ryan's contract and its a fair value trade. Then the Sen's are basically paying Simmonds $5M and Philadelphia is paying Ryan closer to $6M which is both closer to (not dead on) what they should be paid. Then its just a trade where Philly is getting a LW prospect ready for full time duty and a defensive prospect not far off and a 3rd rounder, plus unload an unwanted contract.

I'm guessing you just haven't seen a lot of Ottawa games but in their organization Ceci is a non starter. He's a local product who has a chance to be in a role with Karlsson the way Suter was to Weber a few years back.

First off Simmonds has a good contract but not an exceptional one.
Second Backes at 5.5, he is slow and aging and this is an overpayment on a team that has it's own salary cap.
It doesn't solve the real problem they have in Ottawa, No real top 20 offensive player in the league.
